FASHION NOTES.

Vests of silk are draped in diagonal folds,
| in the way thinner silks were used during
| the summer.
Faced cloth and serges of plain are being
| imported by tailors for the winter and au'
tumn costumes.
Little English toques covered entirely with
the loosely wrapped folds Of dark red bour-
cite silk, and without other trimming, are
worn with tailor gowns of gray, blue or
brown.
Braid of all kinds is more and more used.
All tailor gowns coats and long cloaks are
trimmed with it, and the newest Lincoln
green jackets are heavily braided with either
gold or silver.
Gray berries imported from the West In
dies and called Jobs tears are being
threaded with jet and used extensively for
trimmings. Some of the long-beaded shout
der-capes are dotted all over with them, and
many gray dresses have them introduced
into the galloon, for they are exactly the
shade most favored in gray.
The sailor hat has taken unto itself new
lease of power merely by turning up the back
of the brim. They come in all shades of
felt, have the bIim lined with velvet, a broad
band of ribbon about the crown, and little
to the left side of the back the brim is caught
up with number of stiff, upright bows and
two or three little curled cocks plumes. In
this form it will be as popular as ever and
remain all winter.
A charming French dinner gown for per-
son in mourning is a short skirt and plain
waist of black surah. Over the waist is laid,
in many soft and light plaits, black silk tulle
dotted with small velvet polka dots: four
black ribbons of striped gauze and velvet
strap this down, one beginning under the
right arm, one little above the waist on the
right, one on the right shoulder just over the
arm, and the fourth on the right side OF the
neck: these are ali drawn diagOnally over to
the left and fastened with bows. The skirt
is draped with the tulle held in place by long,
voluminous loops of the ribbon.

glove is over at last after regime of ten
years or more. In its place the manufactur.
erS have put on the market giants de Suede of
every hue. They come i'll shades of dark red,
Gobelin blue, Lincoln green, gray, heliotrope
and carriage wear. For evening the same eff
fort at matching the color of the costume
will be made and the curious sight of pink.

One of the incest and most inexpensive
wraps for visiting and to wear with any win
ter costume is the little Dvisite of seal plush.
These are given the sharply pointed effect in
the back but come quite low on the arms
and are trimmed with little seal plush balls.
They are heavily wadded, warm and not very
costly in the first instance. Plush of all sorts
is coming back into favor and many persons
are having little plush visites made by the

For winter underwear come knitted shirts
In all colors. These are very long and come
quite far down below the hips. The necks
are so made that they can be drawn up
around the throat, but when it is necessary
with square necked or decollete dresses to
lower it the drawstrings can be loosed
and the shirt drawn down below the line of
the bodice. For those who can afford the
luxury are knitted silk drawers to go I'M
derneath the muslin garments, though ex-
pensive at first. wear well and are the source
of endless comfort.

white ribbon and basted in at throat and
wrists. 1t is very soft and pleasant to wear,
and extremely becoming.

coat fronts are caught together at the throat
and flare open over the vest. On these edges
